      How beautiful. Like waterfalls of light.

      You are right, Lucy – they are unusually shaped. Dr Sitthivet Santikarn snapped the more conventional shapes as we saw in the CAS Calendar, December 2016, and Cloud of the Month February 2016.

      Dig the picture of clouds reflected on the car! Lovely and unusual perspective.

      Are the unusual shapes an artefact, as the picture was horizontally compressed from a wide angle?

      Good question, GillP.  Probably so. If you go to the link and click on “Horizontally Compressed,” you will get an interesting illustration of its meaning.

      ! Not quite what I was expecting as an illustration of “horizontally compressed”!

      It does the job though. Thanks
